Researchers have developed a soap-like additive for CO2 that turns it into a viable solvent for commercial-scale enhanced oil recovery to increase the amount of crude oil that can be extracted from ...

Scientists are crafting a new cheap ingredient that can make carbon dioxide work harder and smarter in extracting oil. With a recent $1.3 million grant from the National Energy Technology Laboratory ...

WASHINGTON—In their Canadian laboratories, engineering professors Murray Gray and Zhenghe Xu can demonstrate the science necessary to minimize the bulky carbon footprint of extracting fuel from ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Subsurface contamination at many former manufactured gas plants (MGP) resulted from on-site disposal in wells, pits, and lagoons of coal tar, ...

Solvents are used to increase production and reduce steam-to-oil ratio in steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD). Variations of SAGD that use solvents, such as expanding solvent (ES) SAGD or ...

A researcher from Edith Cowan University (ECU) has pioneered an innovative essential oil extraction process that could cut costs and increase yields. Essential oils are used in a range of industries, ...
